Flaming Gorge—Wyoming & Utah

Interactive Map

Planning Tips

  1. The southern half of Flaming Gorge has a little more to offer relative to things to see, but both are worth visiting.

  2. All of the campgrounds in this area require reservations.

  3. I stayed at Buckboard Crossing in the north. It is very well maintained and the high desert is beautiful, but it is little remote. If I return, I will look further south.

  4. Green River or Rock Springs are the larger municipalities in the north. Vernal is the largest in the south. All will offer service and entertainment options.

Highlights
